Find of the year!

I just happened to be in Home Depot today, and found a whole rack of these lovely Futura Robusta for $3 each. A couple were marked down, so I bought the healthiest mark down for $1.

FIND OF THE YEAR lol

Melanie, a very pretty plant. Even though Home Depot isn't known for unusual plants, the one near me DOES manage to bring in some fairly healthy succulents on a regular basis, so I swing through on a regular basis. Two days ago, I picked up 2 Sans. Hahnii jade marginata pots with two plants in each pot. They were $4.48 each, and HD is the only place I have seen around me that actually carries the jade marginata (one of my favorites). Your new plant looks extremely healthy; can't beat the price, either. Best of luck with it.

Pls note that the mix looks like pure peat from here, if mine, I'd swap it out of that mix FAST!

Yep, great find Melanie, can't wait to go to HD! I had to go this weekend to pick up a few clay pots anyway; I hope there's some left...

Hey, that Sans is still on my porch waiting for you...

Thanks Mary! I am still working on moving, you know how that goes. :(

Yes the mix is pure peat, I will change it out today, had to mix more grit since I was out. I might go back to HD and get more of them. They had some nice plants, but foliage plants aggravate my asthma :(

Beautiful Robusta Melanie, most folks like Futura Simplex better because of the yellow margin but I like the 'plain' ones just as much. If you propagate from leaf cuttings, this will produce more of the same, unlike some other varieties.

Robinswfl, Jade Dwarf Marginated is one of my favorite Hahnii's too, I often see it and Golden Hahnii at Home Depot's here in central Fla. It's been sweltering here too, I'm a native but 'feels like' temps of over 100 degrees is too much for me.
